Stonemark Management has earned national accreditation from the Better Business Bureau – a private, nonprofit organization focused on advancing marketplace trust. The credential means the BBB determined that Stonemark meets its accreditation standards, which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints.

“This is a great illustration of our team’s dedication to both our clients and customers,” said Stonemark CEO Michael Taylor. “We are proud to say that we met the organization’s high standards.”

“Very few multifamily management companies are certified by the Better Business Bureau,” added Stonemark President Walt Lamperski. “Plus, we are thrilled to have earned a top rating.”

Businesses seeking accreditation undergo a thorough evaluation. The criteria are based on the BBB’s eight Standards for Trust: 

1. Building Trust 

2. Advertising Honestly 

3. Telling The Truth 

4. Being Transparent 

5. Honoring Promises 

6. Being Responsive 

7. Safeguarding Privacy 

8. Embodying Integrity
